Snow in Hawaii 2012: Mauna Kea

Music: “NIBIRU” by Pasha iTunes: bit.ly Driving up Mauna Kea Hawaii 2012 was crazy and awesome. 30% less oxygen in the cold atmosphere makes it hard to breathe and move around, so a short hike to the peak at 13796ft was more challenging than anticipated. The snow cover was unpredictable with exposed and unexposed rocks. Some areas looked ridable! I could not resist the temptation to ride down the mountain on a bodyboard rental. Dangerous, but worth the thrill. (fine print: do not attempt)
